WX-950 Installation Manual 1-2 Rev. C 1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The WX-950 i s a TSO certi fi ed thunderstorm mappi ng system desi gned for ai rborne use. The system maps el ectri cal di scharge acti vi ty 360 degrees around the ai rcraft to a di stance of 200 nauti cal mi l es. Fi gure 1-1 i s a si mpl i fi ed functi onal di agram that shows how the components are connected to each other and to other ai rcraft systems. Figure 1-1. System Functional Diagram The WX-950 i s a passi ve system that l i stens for el ectromagneti c si gnal s wi th a recei vi ng antenna. The antenna detects i ntra-cl oud, i nter-cl oud, or cl oud-to-ground el ectri cal di scharges wi thi n a 200-nmi radi us of the ai rcraft and sends the resul ti ng di scharge si gnal s to the di spl ay/processor. The processor di gi ti zes, anal yzes, and converts the di scharge si gnal s i nto range and beari ng data. Thi s i nformati on i s stored i n the storm buffer. The di spl ay shows di scharges as cel l or stri kes dependi ng on the di spl ay mode sel ected. To mai ntai n proper storm di spl ay ori entati on duri ng turns, the WX-950 can be connected to an external headi ng source. The headi ng source may be synchro XYZ or stepper (Ki ng KCS55) format. WX-950 Installation Manual 1-3 Rev. C 1.3 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The WX-950 System consi sts of two mai n components; Di spl ay/Processor (P/N 805-10950-001/002) and NY- 163 Antenna (P/N 805-10930-001/002). 1.3.1 Display/Processor The di spl ay/processor (see fi gure 1-2) houses the processi ng ci rcui try as wel l as the CRT di spl ay panel and the pi l ots operati ng control s. The Di spl ay/processor can mount i n a 3ATI panel cutout from the front or rear. No mounti ng tray i s requi red, al though a moori ng pl ate may be purchased for i ncreased stabi l i ty i n hi gh-vi brati on envi ronments. Refer to paragraphs 2.6 and 2.9 for gui del i nes rel ati ng to mounti ng l ocati on and i nstal l ati on. Connecti on i s made through a mati ng connector assembl y (refer to paragraph 2.8) that attaches to a si ngl e 25 pi n D-submi ni ature connector on the back panel . Figure 1-2.

I f a probl em cannot be reproduced on the ground, schedul e a fl i ght test for further troubl eshooti ng. 2. To check for i nterference radi ated i nto the antenna or cabl e: a. Use a WX-SM Ski nmapper. The Ski nmapper checks for radi ated noi se onl y. b. To i sol ate noi se to antenna or cabl e, repl ace the antenna wi th the WX-900 connector pod (P/N 78-8060-6001-4). Repeat noi se check. I f the noi se goes away, the probl em i s noi se radi ated i nto the antenna. 3. I sol ate the ai rcraft system that generates the noi se. 4. Repai r, repl ace, or rel ocate the offendi ng source, or rel ocate the Stormscope antenna or cabl e, i f necessary. 5. Check potenti al noi se sources cl ose to the system (cabl es, boxes, components). 6. I t may be necessary to rel ocate the antenna or offendi ng devi ce (e.g., cabl es, communi cati ons antenna). 7. Al l grounds must conform to cabl i ng procedures detai l ed i n chapter 2 (I nstal l ati on - refer to paragraphs 2.7 and 2.8). The i nterference source must be properl y grounded. I t may be necessary to rel ocate the WX-950 system ai rframe grounds, or ai rframe grounds on the i nterference source. 8.
